Certbot with AWS DNS Plugin in Docker

Certbot installation process is more complicated that it need to be and I'm tired of spending half a day every time I spin up a server that needs https. Fortunately, this is not the case for Docker. This image comes pre loaded with certbot-dns-route53 plugin, awscli and a bunch of other stuff that they need to work.

How to

Install Docker

Clone this repo

$ git clone git@github.com:sfertman/certbot-docker
$ cd certbot-docker

Build
```
$ build.sh
```
AWS setup
Create certbot user in IAM
Create and attach a policy to allow dns challenge
Create security credentials for this certbot IAM user

Create AWS credentials file and write it to ~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOURAWSACCESSKEYID
aws_secret_access_key = yourawssecretaccesskey

Create AWS config file and write it to ~/.aws/config:
```
[default]
region = us-east-1 # for example
```

Run

$ certbot.sh certonly [...args]
$ certbot.sh renew [...args]

This will:

write logs to ~/letsencrypt/log/
save config and certs in ~/letsencrypt/config/
use this for "work" ~/letsencrypt/work/
